WMSC 87 - Easter Greetings

Can you feel it? Spring is definately in the air. The Chicago area weather is warm and more than just a little bit breezy! Talk about March coming in like a lion and all, we've had high wind advisories for the past few days! You wouldn't believe some of the things I've seen blowing down the street!! At least one of them is not me yet!

Today I'm playing along with Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #87 from WM DT member Renee Lynch. I used the Nestie Eggs set to make a bright colored Happy Easter card. I love how this set contains different styles so you can go casual or elegant depending on what different patterned eggs you choose and what color ink you kiss them with. The sentiments are great too!! Everything you need for a great Easter card in one set. For the cherry on top I added a seam binding bow and lots of bling. These stamped eggs are so pretty they really don't need any extras but you know me - I can't resist sprinkling around a package of gems! The corners are cut from gold foil paper.

I recycled the glittery twine from a package of dies I ordered from Absolutely Everything. Renee got me hooked on them - the store and the dies. Anyway, the items I ordered came wrapped up in tissue paper topped with this pretty glittery pink twine. It was like receiving a present in the mail!! Just thought I'd point it out since you might have missed it on your first look - it is light pink and very sparkly.

Jeanne this is such a pretty spring card! Love all the extra details - the little glittery gems and beautiful ribbon & flower centre/brad you added to the egg & the sparkly pink twine is lovely too. The way you define the corners using those gorgeous die cut shapes as well looks amazing xxx

What a happy beautiful Easter card! I love that you recycled the free ribbon, it is beautiful! I will have to try that store when they have what I need. Gorgeous nest egg stamp from WSM you put it all together so well! Nothing new there :)

Oooo love those eggs, Jeanne! The pink one is gorgeously detailed with the gems and the bow! Love the jaunty angle of the mini one ;). The little corner details are wonderful with this sketch. A beautiful color scheme for spring, too!

Gorgeous...as always! :)Those eggs...just divine!And the corners...seam binding...and the glittery twine...isn't it fabulous all the extra little goodies that Patti sends in the packages?I've kept many ribbons...and it's just like opening a present...just love them there! :)You amaze and inspire Jeanne...I just love it! :)

I love this! I've never seen this stamp set before and made the cutest Easter card. I love that beautiful button with the sparkles and that bow is so pretty. The gold corners added such an elegant touch. Cute pink twine too, neat that you could recycle it!

Hi I'm Jeanne!

A Kept Life

When I left my full time career job my husband started calling me his "kept wife". The name of my blog is a play on that expression, because now I capture moments in photographs, and create in color in my "kept life". I hope you enjoy - thanks for stopping by!
